My Update Manager has had an update in it for weeks now, under Other Updates (LP-PPA-glasen-intel-driver). It is an X.Org Xserver Nouveau Display Driver. When I check the description, it says that it cannot be installed because "This update does not come from a source that supports changelogs".

I'm not sure if this is an update I need to install, but it keeps showing up, and I am having problems with graphics lately--monitor not detected on boot, resolution problems. Would this driver help? And how can I get it to install?

So I did this install: ubuntugeek.com/…. When I ran the install, I got this warning: For Ubuntu 12.04 version 2.20 will be installed. This version allows runtime-switching of the accel method via xorg.conf (UXA or SNA). As standard the old "UXA" acceleration is used. To use "SNA" you have to create a xorg.conf-file with the following content: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna". And I am not sure if this is something that applies to my situation or not. – kara Oct 5 '12 at 14:59
